Removing Unwanted Characters From a Web Form Submission

Hello everyone,

I'm building an On-Rev site, and one of the pages will be a form with a field that is intended for the submission of about a page of comments.  I want to gather the submissions and process them as an array in LiveCode with the contents of another form field as the key.  It would look something like

	stringKey1 <itemDelimiter> longStringOfComments1
	stringKey2 <itemDelimiter> longStringOfComments2
	stringKey3 <itemDelimiter> longStringOfComments3

and so on.  I need to convert the comments to a string by removing line feeds and perhaps other characters that might cause problems.  Is removing Return and Tab enough?

	replace return with space in longStringOfCommentsNum
	replace tab with space in longStringOfCommentsNum

Because it is coming down from a server, I'm not sure whether I should refer to other linefeed characters and what those are.


Regards,

Gregory
